About Fieldy
Reginald Quincy Arvizu (born November 2, 1969), also known as Fieldy, is an American musician, best known as the former bassist for nu metal band Korn from 1993 to 2021. He is also the guitarist/bassist for rock band Stillwell. == Career == Arvizu and future Korn bandmate Brian Welch had played together in a number of bands, having become friends while still at school in Bakersfield, California. Upon their graduation from high school, Arvizu and Welch, along with two more future Korn members James Shaffer and David Silveria, relocated from Bakersfield to Los Angeles. In various permutations they played in the band L.A.P.D. Although L.A.P.D. did succeed in signing a record deal, their success was limited until the band hired singer Jonathan Davis and changed their name to Korn. The name "Fieldy" is said to have come about as an inside joke. Originally, his bandmates called him "Gopher", due to his large cheeks. Gopher quickly became "Gar", Gar became "Garfield" (based on the comic strip character of the same name), and eventually "Gar" was dropped and a "y" was added to "Field", which became Fieldy. In August 2012, it was reported that Fieldy would be taking a brief break from Korn as his wife Dena was expecting a child. Korn continued touring with fill-in bassist Ryan Martinie from Mudvayne.
